Chapter 76
"Ban."
Ban rose at Han Yoo-seong's call.
He placed the arrow he had been tightly holding back into the quiver.
"Oh, Yuseong."
Han Yoo-seong was holding something in his hand.
"Catch this."
Whoosh-
The baseball, leaving Han Yoo-seong's hand, drew an arc and Ban caught it lightly with his right hand.
"What's this?"
"A baseball."
Han Yoo-seong pointed at himself with his index finger.
"Now, throw it back to me. Gently. You shouldn't throw it with the intention of hitting me. It's about passing it back and forth."
"Hey, I'm not that clueless, you know?"
Ban said, looking at the baseball in his hand.
The red stitches rising from the leather surface were felt through the sensation in his fingers.
'Come to think of it.'
When he asked how he broke the wall earlier, he said he broke it by throwing a ball.
Ban Ineoreu chuckled and threw the baseball towards Han Yoo-seong.
Han Yoo-seong threw.
Ban caught.
Ban wore a faint smile at the sensation flowing through his hand.
He felt a strange comfort.
"Catch ball."
Han Yoo-seong's voice seeped into Ban's ears.
"Passing it back and forth like this is called catch ball. I used to play catch ball with my friends often when my head was messed up."
Although they didn't have gloves, which were important for catch ball, both of them were people who didn't need gloves.
"Is that so?"
After passing the baseball back and forth a few more times, Ban felt his complicated thoughts clearing up, just as Han Yoo-seong had said.
Perhaps, it was just his imagination. There was a high probability that it was just a momentary change of pace.
But even so, the refreshing feeling given by being immersed was intense.
Ban tightly tied up his silver hair.
The baseball flew back and forth on the pure white scenery.
The two of them played catch ball for a long time.
Thwack-
"You're right."
Ban looked at the baseball that had entered his hand as if being sucked in and smiled faintly.
"I had some frustrations. They've eased up a bit."
"Right?"
Han Yoo-seong caught the baseball that Ban threw lightly.
Only one root remained.
However, one root couldn't be dealt with quickly just because one wanted to.
I looked at the silver-haired woman who was leaning her head on my shoulder and dozing off.
If I could just pass the 13th floor without anything happening to this last root, would I be able to go up with Ban?
I thought it would be nice if that were the case.
The night was deep.
I took out the Transcender Gallery Terminal from the barracks assigned for personal use.
I uploaded a post with a video of me and Ban dealing with the sixth root together.
Title: One root left.

-If we finish this guy, it's the 14th floor.

-
Oh.
-
New feed.
-
Is it…meal…time…?
-
Pioneer) He's just recklessly doping from the start.
-
For real, there's no hesitation at all.
-
Elf) Hmm, he's very unreserved.
The comments running at this point were about the scene where I injected 'Breath of the Extreme' and 'Dragon Blood Serum' into my side.
-
Water King) Friend!!!!! Cherish your body!!!!
-
Ice Queen) Snuggle! Be careful…!!
-
Dragon King) Beltui- Why…why…did you inject my blood into your side? I gave it to you to drink. To drink. To drink. To swallow. To swallow. To swallow.
-
Dragon King) Beltui- Please be sure to swallow the remaining dose. Definitely. Definitely. Definitely. I even added sweetness to make it delicious.
-
Dragon King) Beltui - You must swallow it with your mouth. You have to swallow it with your mouth and gulp it down. Swallowing it makes it more effective!...There's nothing like that, but anyway. You have to drink it.
-
Water King) Eeek!! It's a real Dragon King!!
-
Dragon, if you make such a fuss, wouldn't he try to inject it even more instead of drinking it?
-
For real, goosebumps. But at least he doesn't sell medicine saying it's more effective.
-
Jjuhdak) I would have banned him then.
-
Dragon King) Beltu-eek!
I could see the madness of the Dragon King senior.
Next time, I should just inject it instead of swallowing it with my mouth.
-
Sword of Light) Certainly, Ban Ineoreu's movements have a lot to learn from. It would be good to review it later.
-
Yes, I should.
-
Scum Sword Saint) It seems that Ban Ineoreu's Domain is about designating an enemy, pulling them into his own area, and fighting. His abilities must also increase within his own Domain.
-
Absolute Monarch) It's quite a standard Domain.
-
Is there a big difference between a Domain and a Unique Domain?
-
Absolute Monarch) Being Rank 7 and knowing how to use a Unique Domain means you have the power to destroy a country.
-
Pioneer) Being Rank 7 means you can open your own world, so that's how the power is expressed.
-
Pioneer) But Unique Domains vary widely, so you never know.
-
Shrine Maiden) Oh my, if a Domain is like a river, a Unique Domain is like an ocean. If I had to make an analogy for the potential it holds.
-
Elf) Hmm, I need to get to Rank 6 quickly, right?
-
Secret Room Theorist) Well, Rank 6 isn't a realm you can reach just by trying hard - this world is made up of a giant secret room.
-
Spear King) It seems almost certain that this guy's Vessel is wide, so it will take a long time to fill up the Rank 5 Vessel and go up.
-
Water King) Wow, he can just throw the Divine Stone like that!!!
-
Archmage) So that's what he meant when he said he was confident in throwing.
-
Spear King) What's that called?
-
Yes, baseball. The one who throws the ball is the pitcher. The one who hits it is the batter. The one who catches the pitcher's ball is the catcher. I was a pitcher.
-
Archmage) There were similar games here, but the ball was too weak. The system was also sloppy.
-
Sword of Light) That's a very strange posture.
The video ended with a scene of me and Ban sitting side by side after the battle, chuckling together.
-
Shrine Maiden) Oh my, it looks fun.
-
To say that Tower climbing looks fun, the Shrine Maiden must be completely out of her mind.
-
Ice Queen) Snuggle…it looks fun. Of course, I have no intention of climbing the Tower again. Hehe.
-
Archmage) It does look fun. Yeah.
-
Heavenly Demon) I'm sorry for thinking in a bad way, but we must continue to be suspicious. We must continue to be suspicious until the current 13th floor is completely over.
-
Heavenly Demon) It is an undeniable reality that all the circumstances on the 13th floor are suspicious.
-
Heavenly Demon) It doesn't make sense that Ban Ineoreu, who was a Climber in our generation, is at the same point as you.
-
Heavenly Demon) Ban Ineoreu's existence is a contradiction in itself.
-
Jjuhdak) That's true.
-
Absolute Monarch) That's right.
I know it too.
That.
It was a fact I knew very well.
Two more days passed.
A baseball was floating in the sky again.
Ban looked at the baseball that had arrived in his grasp.
"Yuseong."
Ban threw the baseball towards Han Yoo-seong.
Toss.
"Oh, Ban."
The ball came and went, drawing trajectories. Against a pure white background.
"Tomorrow, our catch ball here will be over too. We won't fail to defeat the last root, will we?"
Han Yoo-seong looked at Ban Ineoreu, who was saying that.
Beneath his neatly tied silver hair, his blue eyes were staring at him.
"I guess not."
Ban chuckled.
"You know you're a really amazing guy, right? Whether it's swords or bows. You're the first guy I've seen who absorbs everything I teach him. It's fun to teach you."
Han Yoo-seong said, throwing the baseball.
"Ban. Maybe it's because you teach me so well."
"Huh…?"
Ban caught the baseball that Ban threw with a dazed expression.
"You move people's hearts, or something. You say things like that so casually. Have you charmed some women?"
Only after saying that did Ban throw the ball back to Han Yoo-seong.
Han Yoo-seong caught the ball and shook his head.
"Not at all."
"I can't believe it."
"It's amazing that I'm hearing these words."
Han Yoo-seong threw the baseball again.
Thwack!
The baseball entered Ban's right hand as if it were being wrapped around it.
"Oh, did I throw it a little hard?"
Having said that, Ban threw the baseball towards Han Yoo-seong.
A little harder, just like Han Yoo-seong had done.
Starting with that exchange. Both of them put more power into the ball than before.
"It's fun no matter how many times I do it, catch ball."
Ban tossed the baseball up into the air alone and repeated catching it.
Ban added.
"I've had a headache for the past few days. It's finally gone now."
Han Yoo-seong nodded slowly.
"That's a relief."
"Yeah, it's a relief. I think it's thanks to catch ball."
Soon, the catch ball ended.
Early the next morning.
Ban and Han Yoo-seong were preparing to defeat the last target, the sixth root.
After finishing all the preparations, they headed to the council hall.
The scenery there was a little different than usual.
The way they had their arms raised looked like they were performing some kind of ritual.
When he approached Turiana, Turiana said in a low voice.
"Ah, please wait a moment. We are in the middle of a ritual to commemorate our dead comrades."
"Okay."
Soon, the pure white smoke that had been rising stopped.
Turiana raised her right arm.
"It's time to go to war! The Silien Warriors must trust each other! So that the sacrifices of the warriors who have left us are not meaningless!"
Then, over a hundred Silien Warriors also raised their right arms.
While Han Yoo-seong was preparing his sword, Ban Ineoreu suddenly stuck his head in from the side.
He was holding a quiver filled with arrows in his hand.
"Hey, the quiver. You should take good care of the one I gave you as a gift. You're not just throwing it around too much because you're not going to use it anyway, are you?"
"Oh, I need to put it in my Inventory."
Han Yoo-seong put the quiver into his Inventory.
Ban had explained it in detail, but his skills were still insufficient to use it on this 13th floor.
Equipping it unnecessarily would only get in the way of his movements.
Ban Ineoreu and Han Yoo-seong stood behind the Silien Warriors and advanced.
Ban put his hand on Han Yoo-seong's shoulder.
"Hey, I trust you."
Han Yoo-seong chuckled.
"Why are you saying something obvious?"
Once again, Split Entity of Dranas in various shapes blocked the path of the Silien Warriors.
This time as well, the entrance to the cave where the last sixth root was located was opened with the blood and sacrifice of the Silien Warriors.
"Let's go."
At Han Yoo-seong's words, Ban nodded.
The two of them took a step forward at the same time.
